FIFA 19: best modules, tactics and player instructions

Let's find out what are the best modules, the best dynamic tactics and the best player instructions to use in FIFA 19 and FUT 19 to win online and offline

FIFA 19 is now out on the market and, compared to the previous chapter, some changes introduced have upset the choice of best modules, of the best dynamic tactics and best player instructions to win online and offline.

FIFA 19: what has changed? All the news concerning the gameplay

As every year, EA Sports is committed to perfecting the game system of the FIFA series. In FIFA 19, mostly a work of filing was carried out on the already excellent FIFA 18, with variations and new functions that enrich both the technical and visual sector of the title. 

Among the changes affecting the gameplay - and therefore this guide - we see the new system Active touch, the 50/50 clashes, the new timed finalization and above all the implementation of dynamic tactics.

• The new system Active Touch revolutionizes the way to receive, attack and move with the ball at your feet. New animations have been added to the balloon control system to ensure greater variety in the movement of the ball. Specifically, it is now possible to control the ball in many different ways, such as the "fake stop", a feint with which to push the defenders to move in the wrong direction with a slight movement on the first touch. Similarly to the new ways to control the ball, to ensure greater creativity in attack, new animations have been added to raise the ball. Players can use their head, chest, knees and feet to lift the ball, change direction, confuse defenders, and create spaces to exploit.
• With 50/50 clashes, the reactions of the user and the attributes of the players will determine the outcome of the tackles on the pitch. Each tackle will be decisive for gaining possession of the ball, thanks to greater intelligence and awareness of the spaces on the part of teammates.
• Pressing the attack shot control twice will activate the timed finalization, which guarantees greater control over the impact with the ball. The time with which the control is pressed for the second time determines the impact with the ball. Shots shot with perfect timing will be more accurate and powerful, while shots with poor timing will have a better chance of missing the target. Timed finishing introduces a new element of control to scoring chances.
• new dynamic tactics provide deeper and more advanced control over your team's tactics. Allowing you to choose between different tactical approaches, ensuring deeper customization before the match, and more options during the match using the directional keys. Each tactical approach combines offensive and defensive forms, mindsets and play styles, allowing you to easily customize your set-up in any situation.

FIFA 19 and dynamic tactics

Surely, in addition to the changes that directly affect the gameplay, the real revolution for the "tactics" of FIFA 19 is represented by the introduction of dynamic tactics.

Finally, as often requested in a loud voice, you have complete control of quick tactics accessible via the directional keys. This obviously opens up a huge range of possibilities to approach the race, allowing you to choose between five styles of play (ultra defensive, defensive, balanced, offensive, ultra offensive), already set previously, at any moment and without interruption.

And it doesn't stop there! Some have also been introduced settings to control area entries both on free kick and on action, as well as the possibility of set the position on the pitch for each player to your liking regardless of the module used.

The level of tactical customization has therefore reached an even higher level in FIFA 19, providing many options to choose from. But, in light of all these news, what are the best modules, the best dynamic tactics and the best player instructions to use to get the better of your opponent?
